Miss CLARA BARTON, president OF the
Red Cross society, has just returned from
Texas, having made the trip solely for the
purpose Of determining the truth or fals,ty
Of the stories Of the suffering from drought.
When asked what she thought Of the action
Of the president In vetoing the elO, 900 sppro.

Tho president was right. I regard 1t a

ADMIRAL REYSoLps post, No 4oS, Grand
Army Of the Republic, think Cleveland made
mistake in bis veto OF the dependent

such law, Is estimated at from & 5, 900, 900 to
100000, coo annually, In addition to the
$4,000, 600 now given every year in pensions

SMALL THINGS ABOUT GREAT MEN.

Part of the price which every
eminent man pays for his exalted or
prominent position is the loss of all
privacy. His habits and customs,
his preferences and aversions, are
all publicly discussed, aud the fol-
lowing particulars show that he can
not even have a favourte dish with
out the knowledge of the public.
This craving for details about the
lives of great men dates back rs far
as the time of Charlemagnc, of whom
it is said that his meals consisted
never of more than four courses,
and that his favourite dishes were
eggs and roast meat, particularly
venison, which were served on long
spits by his foresters. Luther pre-
ferred Torgan beer and hook to all
other beverages. AS young man,
Melanchthon was very fond of Bar
ley soup. Small fish. vegetables,
and all kinds of farinaceous food he
liked, but large fish and meat he
disliked, and he hated all public
meals or drinking bouts. lie used
to say that it would be easy for him
to adopt Phythagorean diet. Tor
quato Tasso was very fond of pre-
served fruits and all kind of fancy
sweets. Henry ~. was often ill
from eating too many oysters or
melons. His favourite drink was
vim d'Arbois. Peter the Great liked
nothing better than Limburg cheese
y. Charles NIL, King of Sweden,
preferred piece of bread-and-but-
ter to anything else. Voltaire, like
Frederick the Great and Napoleon
l., was very fond of coffee. His
favourite food was oat cakes, but
he preferred oranges to any other
kind of food. The Dutch lady
scholar A. M. Schurman ate spiders
as delicacy, leasing preferred
lentils, and Klopstock, who was u
real gourmand, fed on salmon,
mushrooms, pastry, and smoked
meat. OF vegetables he liked peas
best and grapes as dessert, together
with bottle of good claret or hook.
Kant retained to his old age prefe-
renee for pork, all kinds of pulse,
and stewed fruit. He devoted three
hours day to his dinner. Schiller
was in bis youthful days very fond
Of ham. An old note book belong
ing to Stuttgart restaurant con-
tains some items about "Meals for
DR.. Schiller in 1882" from which it
appears that, besides Il hottie Of
wine, ham was every day among the
dishes on Schiller's table. Matthias
son confessed a preference for peas,
beans, and pork; Lord Byron for
Chester cheese, with ale or porter !;
Pope was greatly interested" in
venison, Jonathan Swift in turbot,
and Sir Walter Scott in roast goose.

the MARTHA FISHER.

The British bark Martha Fisher,
now IN port, was built in Gorton, on
the Clyde, by Alex. Stevens & Son,
in November, 1875. She is 1877
feet from perpendicular to perpen-
dicular, 31.8 beam, 1873 hold. 81
tons net register, and 1870 tons
burden. She was built for and is
owned by Iredale & Son, Liverpool.
She has been steadily employed in
the Colonial and Portland, Or,
trades.
Her crew consists of the captain,
who has been her master for four
years, first and second officers, seven
sailors, five apprentices, three of
whom have been on her for three
years, steward and cook.
The cabin of the Martha Fisher
is well fitted-up and spacious. 1t
contains two state rooms, with two
berths in each, and one family state
room, with four berths. The cap
tain's room is q model of comfort.
The entire saloon is finely orna-
mented with maple and mahogany
woods, in the form of PANELS and
blinds, and is well lighted. The
poop deck of the ship, which is
large and free, commands clear
view of the vessel.
The Martha Fisher has never been
wrecked and was never dismasted.
Her only misfOrtunes have been the
losing of small boat on one Occa-
sion, and the filling on the cabin
with water on another. Her hull is
of iron and her spars and decks are
very solid.
When the Martha Fisher has
finished discharging here she will
sail for Portland, Or, thence home
to Liverpool.

SEVENTH DAY ADvENTIsTs.

At the usual hour the service be-
gan at the hall last night. The
speaker read as his text Dan. S:14,
"Unto two thousand three hundred
days then shall the sanctuary be
cleansed." The first part having
been considered the evening before,
the latter clause formed the topic
for the evenings discourse.
The questions which would natur-
ally arise in the minds of all are,
What is the sanctuary? of what does
its cleansing consist! and when does
it take place? These questions may
be asked very clearly from the scrip
lures. The word sanctuary is found
in the Bible lag times, and in every
place means the dwelling place of
God.
The speaker then gave vivid
description of the sanctuary of the
Mosaic dispensation, also Of the
ministration connected Herewith.
This sanctuary was divided into two
apartments, called the "IIoly" and
"Most Holy" places. The minis
tration of the High Priest was per-
formed in the Holy place during the
entire year. On the tenth day of
the seventh month the cleansing of
the sanctuary or Atonement took
place. This consisted in the High
Priest going into the Most Holy
place with the blood of the Lord
kid, prefguring the blood of Christ,
and offering it as an atonement for
the sins of Israel for the entire
year-Lev. 16. This service was
performed before the Ark, which
contained the Law of God-the indi-
Gator of sin-Rom. $500.
The subject for tonight is "True
Sanctuary and its cleansing"
